Our friend and HOMEGROWNer Danielle faced a dilemma recently when her boss invited her over for Christmas cocktails. “Bring your S.O. and your dog, too!” the boss said – some entertainment for her kids, Danielle assumed. Upon telling her boss that the dog did not play well with kids, the boss shrugged and said “bring the chicken, then!” Danielle’s hen, Bill Murray, now had a cocktail party to attend.
